A method for making an agenda with an integrated housing for a writing instrument is disclosed. The method uses a sheet having lines of creases and a plurality of elements which form the cover of the agenda and are mutually separated in their inside by corresponding first parallel creases, and a plurality of quadrangular strips separated in their inside by second creases arranged transversely to the first parallel creases. The plurality of strips is connected to a first element of the plurality of elements. The plurality of strips is folded to form a tubular frame. One of the strips adheres to the surface of the first element to fasten the tubular frame. The plurality of elements is folded so that the first element is a part of one side of the agenda cover, and a second element is a part of a second side of the agenda cover. A block of sheets is fastened to the sheet and extends below the tubular frame.

At least one of the touch sensors of the plurality of touch sensors may be integrated into the base. At least one of the plurality of sheets of paper may be retained on the base and in close proximity to the at least one of the touch sensors. The digital notepad may further include a display screen communicatively connected to the onboard computer and configured to display markings read by at least one of the plurality of touch sensors. In another embodiment, the digital notepad's writing instrument includes thermally reactive ink. In another embodiment, the digital notepad includes an eraser movably and detachably connected to the base. The eraser may include a thermal unit that is configured to change the temperature of the thermally reactive ink on at least one of the plurality of sheets of paper, such that a reaction is induced.

An elastic band, at least a portion of which is elastic and including a woven slit made in the elastic band to hold an object. The band can also have two woven slits which form an elastic loop which can be used to hold an object, such as a writing implement or other tool.

The present invention relates generally to a cylindrical pen holder for sticky notes, which can be placed on table top for leaving messages and holding different kinds of pens. The cylindrical pen holder for sticky notes is a cylinder composed of a first case and a second case. At least a set of opposite openings is made in the circumference of the cylinder. A set of colored consecutive self-adhesive notepaper is provided under each opening, and the free end of the first self-adhesive notepaper penetrates out of the opening for convenient extraction. When a sticky note of the consecutive self-adhesive notepaper set is drawn out, the next sheet comes out with it, and the free end of the following sticky note is exposed out of the opening. When the sticky notes are used up, the first case and the second case can be opened to supplement the sticky note set.
